We’re more than half-way through the year (and more than have way through SRP – have you registered? No? Register, already [2]!) and at this point I’m taking stock of everything I’ve read so far. I’ve had the pleasure to read many good books this year, but out of all these have been my favorites. What are your favorite reads in 2011?
